During the procedure, engage the front and rear frame locks (1) and recheck the dimension. The bottom
of the screen mesh should just be touching the shims. When you run your hand over the mesh above
the shim, you should not be able to feel the shim pushing up through the mesh.
The result of these adjustments is that the front and rear frame holders are parallel with each other. If
this is the case, when you engage the frame locks, you will hear a distinctive solid sounding “clack”
when the frame locks are engaged. Another good indication is that with the front frame locks engaged,
you will not see any evidence of the screen frame moving when the rear air locks are engaged. These
conditions will only be evident when you are working with a flat screen frame.
Once the off-contact has been set to the desired dimension, tighten the jam nuts (1) on the threaded
rods on the front and rear screen holders. Tighten the top and bottom jam nuts alternately to prevent any
change in the off-contact dimension. Repeat the checks as described in the above paragraph to be sure
the screen frame is locking down correctly.
IMPORTANT
: Repeat the above procedure with all print stations using the No.1 pallet and the shims.
